Most of the essential provisions remain intact but a small re-stock is in order. Next move to another secret location on Friday. JP I'm all set for playing find Vulpes on Friday.

nicknorman Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hmmm we seem to find ourselves down on the boat this weekend and maybe in Brum, rather short notice. Anyway we will be cheering on any participants we meet, rather than competing. I need a rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a thought, we could break down and cause a stoppage that could remarkably be fixed by the payment of a small fee! On the other hand, sounds too tiring, I’d rather just cheer from the bank!

Graham and Jo Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 We have completed our first positioning move. Dotterel is still moored at Calcutt but at least it is facing on the right direction. Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tawny Owl Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Tawny is more ready than she was. Engine bilges relieved of lots of mucky water, popped water pipes repaired. Going up later to clean the fridge and a couple of other little jobs. She will leave Hatton with some of the crew on Thursday. Hope they obey instructions and we can find her Friday evening. Mind you as I'm bringing most of the food I think they'll tell us where they are. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moomins have returned from the Irish Sea and are having a couple of days R&R at Hockley Port before our next bout of sleep deprivation. Will have time on the long run up the GU to do any jobs assigned. MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kustomcut Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I will be taking the tub to Birmingham City Centre from Lady lane on Friday day. Anyone around maybe have a beer? Also we will again be having a small bar on board with prosecco on tap. Whatever is left or if anyone wants a glass holler us down I would ideally get a small donation to this years charity, the BCN Society for those who didn't know. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/bcns2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree monkey Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I've received my instructions. I must leave my fleas at home this year. I've been upgraded to my very own bed on the back deck.
